The Kensington
The Kensington staircase adapts well to any project, be it for public buildings, commercial renovations or private residences. The 48" tread width of this versatile straight staircase can be increased or reduced through custom fabrication. With a 7" rise and 11" run, the Kensington meets most national and municipal building codes. The floral relief design on the tread surface of the original Kensington reflects the pattern found on the riser and side panels.
Also available is our historic tread design and a radius end bottom step.
